lresident of the'city and county of Albany,

State of New York, have invent-ed a new and useful Improvement' in Guide-Greasers for Elevators, .of which lthe following is a The objectof my invention'fis to provide a dev ice of this class, which will accurately and reliably grease the 'guides' of elevators and also indicate the amount of grease in the device. This object is accomplished' by my invention, one embodiment of which is hereinafter described.

For a more particular description of my 4 invention, reference is tovv be had to the accompanying'drawings forming a part hereof in which Figure l is a perspective View oflmy improved lubricator. Fig. Zs'the longitudinal section of the same taken on the' line 2-2 of` Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the same. Fig. 4 is a side 1kelevation of an ele# vator with my improved lubricator applied thereto. j

Throughout they vafrious views' of the drawings simi/lar reference characters designate similar parfts. y

My improved lubricator 1 is attached to an elevator 2, andjat any partthereof con` veniently located inear the guides 3, and

'preferably placedon top of the-cage `as shown in Fig. 4. It is preferably secured" in place by means of a bracket 4, which .consists of a. slotted base 5, adapted tojrec'eive and hold screwsor other fastening devices and extending at right angles to the base 5 isa pedestal. 6, which' is provided with a clamp 7, at its other end andwhich is 'adapt- -ed to hold and secure the lubricatorl. This lubricator 1 comprises'a cylindrical shell-8 one endof which is' slotted vat 9 to receive a guide 3 and oneach sideof this slotx 9 the walls are inclined as shown at 10. The other end of the shell 8, is provided with'a head 11, which is tted to said shell by means4 of screw threads and the center of this head is perforated to permit the shank 'l2 of a follower to pass therethrough. The outer end of the shank 12 is provided'with a head 13 secured in any'suitable manner and the inner end is provided with a disk' 14, which fits snug in the tube 8. A coiled spring 15 rests in the bore of the tube 8 and has one end against 'the disk 14 'and the other against the head 11, and this coiled spring 15' surrounds the `shank 12. l

When myfimproved lubricator is used, the head 11 fis first removed and the lubricant` in the form of a candle or packed grease is placed therein. The disk 14, is then put in position in the bore of the tubeS and the head 11 is secured in place thereby placing the spring l15 under tension thus forcing the'lubricant against the guide 3, The position of the head 13 of the shank v12, indicates to an observer theamount of grease in the lubricator so that from time toV time this grease may, be renewed Las may be necessary or expedient.

Various other embodiments of my inven- Ation may be made all of which embody its essential features andv characteristics.

Having thus described my'invention,what I claim is. t l In an. article of the class described, a lubricator'forelevators and thel like. comprising a cylinder' having a vslot at one end, .inclined walls on eachrside of said slot, a cap at the other end of said cylinder, a follower .anda s ri-n between s'aid follower and saidcap, "w ere y the lubricating material isy forcedthrough said slot..by said follower and by the inclined walls so that three sides,

of the lguide may be lubricated simultane- .ously.

In witness whereof, I have vsigned my name to this specification in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses.
